Sažetak

INTRODUCTION: Stroke is an illness of the brain structures, resulting in a reduced possibility of movement, disturbance in motion and walking coordination. It is the third cause of death in the world, and the second cause of mortality in Croatia. People who have overcome stroke can have severe injuries, limitations of movement and perception problems. Although traditional rehabilitation methods are most commonly used in rehabilitation of stroke patients, neurorehabilitation today uses robotics more increasingly. Robotics in neurorehabilitation of persons after a stroke has its own place in the rehabilitation protocol. The aim of the neurorobotics is to support the rehabilitation of the upper and lower extremities with the purpose of recovering the damaged motor faculites to assist patients in carrying out their daily activities. This research has shown the effect of Amadeo robotic therapeutic device on the rehabilitation of the hand function. The main goal of the Amadeo robotic therapy device is a focused workout achievement with a constant increase in intensity and repetition rate. The research will also warn about the possible ethical problems encountered by modern medicine, especially when it comes to the use of modern technology in rehabilitation processes. This is a rethink of ethical review in the work and raises open questions for further research in the future.

AIM OF STUDY: Investigate the effect of the Amadeo robotic therapy device on increasing the range of motion and strength, reducing tonus and spasms in people after the stroke.

METHODS: Measurement at the beginning and end of robotic therapeutic device Amadeo were performed to check the performance. Measurements are related to the range of motion, strength, tone and spasm on the modified Asworth scale.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The results of the strength measurement of the hand showed a statistically significant difference between the measurement result at the beginning and end of the therapy. Robotic therapy device Amadeo is safe and often used for clinical research.
